In petrochemical plants, oil & gas platforms, and hazardous chemical zones, frontline technicians face harsh conditions every day—volatile gases, airborne dust, heat, confined spaces...
Yet when electrical maintenance, instrument calibration, or temporary testing is needed, a clean, safe, and functional operating environment is often a luxury.

At TLS, we designed the Positive Pressure Workspace to meet this challenge head-on.
It’s not just a container—it’s a protected, controlled work zone, engineered to keep both personnel and sensitive equipment safe, even in explosive atmospheres.

Safety First: A Habitable Space in Hazardous Zones
Traditional temporary operations in Zone 1 or Zone 2 areas typically involve wearing protective gear or working in basic pressurized enclosures—not ideal for long durations or precision work.

TLS Positive Pressure Workspaces offer a better alternative:

• Continuous overpressure protection, maintaining indoor pressure higher than ambient to prevent ingress of flammable gases
• Fully integrated explosion-proof systems for lighting, sockets, air conditioning, and power distribution—engineered to comply with IECEx / ATEX standards
• Clean air supply, with multi-stage filtration to ensure breathable, healthy air for extended stays
• Emergency ventilation and fail-safe power-off design, providing automatic response in case of system fault

In explosive zones, the TLS workspace becomes a true safety island—a refuge you can trust.

Operator-Centered: A Functional Environment for Focused Work
We believe the right environment empowers better work. That’s why every TLS Positive Pressure Workspace is built with the operator in mind:

• User-friendly control interface with integrated panels and clear system indicators
• Logical interior zoning for storage, operation, and maintenance areas—optimized for efficient workflows
• Comfort built in, with explosion-proof air conditioning, low-noise fans, and insulated walls to ensure a pleasant environment in extreme climates
• Easy maintenance, thanks to modular cable routing and piping for fast on-site servicing
• Optional remote monitoring modules available on request, allowing better visibility into system performance

It’s not just about compliance—it’s about giving technicians a workspace where they can concentrate on the job, not the risks.

Flexible & Mobile: A Safety Zone That Moves with You
Built on standard container dimensions, TLS Positive Pressure Workspaces are made for fast, reliable deployment:

• Plug-and-play setup, pre-integrated before delivery—just connect power and start work
• Rapid deployment, ideal for emergency maintenance, shutdowns, or short-term testing operations
• Highly customizable, with optional configurations for fan redundancy, gas detection, workbench layout, and more

Whether onshore or offshore, the TLS workspace goes where it’s needed—bringing safety to the front lines.

Conclusion:
Daily operations in hazardous zones are part of life for frontline engineers. At TLS, we believe these professionals deserve more than just the bare minimum.
Our Positive Pressure Workspaces are designed to deliver a controlled, habitable, and secure working environment—built with care, precision, and real-world needs in mind.

​In the realm of offshore operations, safety and efficiency are paramount. One critical aspect that significantly contributes to these factors is the use of certified offshore containers. Among these, the DNV 2.7-1 standard stands out as a benchmark for quality and reliability. In this blog, we'll delve into what DNV 2.7-1 containers are, why they are essential, and how they enhance offshore operations.
 
What is a DNV 2.7-1 Container?
DNV 2.7-1 is a standard set by Det Norske Veritas (DNV), a leading international certification body. This standard specifically addresses the design, manufacturing, and certification of offshore containers. An offshore container is any portable unit, used for the transport and storage of goods and equipment, that is frequently handled in open seas and harsh environments.
 
The DNV 2.7-1 standard ensures that these containers can withstand the extreme conditions encountered offshore, including rough handling, high winds, and corrosive saltwater. To meet this standard, containers must pass rigorous tests for structural integrity, safety, and durability.
 
Key Features of DNV 2.7-1 Containers

1. Robust Construction: These containers are built with high-strength steel and reinforced structures to endure harsh marine environments and heavy loads.
2. Safety: They feature secure locking mechanisms and safety devices to prevent accidents during transport and handling.
3. Durability: DNV 2.7-1 containers undergo stringent testing for impact resistance, water tightness, and corrosion resistance, ensuring long service life.
4. Versatility: Available in various sizes and configurations, these containers can be customized to meet specific operational needs, whether for transporting equipment, hazardous materials, or providing temporary storage.

Benefits of Using DNV 2.7-1 Containers in Offshore Operations

• Enhanced Safety

Safety is the foremost priority in offshore operations. DNV 2.7-1 containers are designed with multiple safety features, including secure locking mechanisms and lifting points, which reduce the risk of accidents. The rigorous testing standards ensure that the containers can withstand severe impacts and extreme weather conditions, thereby protecting both personnel and cargo.​

• Regulatory Compliance

Using DNV 2.7-1 certified containers helps operators comply with international safety and quality regulations. This compliance is crucial for avoiding legal complications and ensuring smooth operations. Regulatory bodies and insurance companies often require DNV certification for offshore containers, making it a mandatory standard for many offshore projects. 

• Operational Efficiency

DNV 2.7-1 containers are designed for easy handling and transportation. Their standardized sizes and compatibility with offshore lifting equipment streamline logistics and reduce downtime. The robust construction and durability of these containers also mean fewer interruptions and lower maintenance costs over time.

• Cost-Effectiveness

While the initial investment in DNV 2.7-1 containers might be higher than non-certified alternatives, the long-term benefits outweigh the costs. The extended lifespan, reduced risk of accidents, and lower maintenance requirements contribute to significant cost savings over the lifecycle of the containers.
 
Applications of DNV 2.7-1 Containers

• Transporting Goods and Equipment

From drilling equipment to spare parts, DNV 2.7-1 containers are essential for safely transporting various goods to and from offshore platforms. Their robust design ensures that valuable equipment arrives intact and ready for use.

• Storing Hazardous Materials

The offshore industry often deals with hazardous materials that require secure storage solutions. DNV 2.7-1 containers provide the necessary protection against spills, leaks, and environmental contamination, ensuring safe storage and handling of dangerous goods.

• ​Living Quarters and Office Spaces

In some cases, DNV 2.7-1 containers are converted into temporary living quarters or office spaces for offshore personnel. These modified containers offer a safe, comfortable, and durable environment for workers stationed on offshore platforms.
 
Conclusion
The adoption of DNV 2.7-1 containers in offshore operations is a testament to the industry's commitment to safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance. By investing in these high-quality, certified containers, offshore operators can ensure the protection of their personnel, equipment, and the environment, while also optimizing their operational processes.
 
Whether for transporting goods, storing hazardous materials, or providing temporary living spaces, DNV 2.7-1 containers are the gold standard in offshore container solutions. As the offshore industry continues to evolve, the reliance on robust and certified containers will only grow, making DNV 2.7-1 an indispensable part of modern marine operations.

What is negative pressure?
When the exhaust air volume in the space is greater than the air intake volume, the space is in a negative pressure state, the air outside flows into the interior and is discharged through the exhaust outlet for centralized treatment.

When to choose negative pressure?
When the external environment is safe, but toxic and harmful gases are generated inside, negative pressure is preferred.
